YC Demo Day & Building Sim Studio with CEO Emir Karabeg

This week we sat down with Emir Karabeg, the co-founder of Sim Studio (YC X25), an open-source AI agent builder used by the Department of Defense and Mercor. We debriefed his YC Demo Day and discussed his insane lore, including:

💥 Building a crypto mining operation at 14 that accidentally triggered an MI6 raid

🧠 Why what he learned at YC was life changing

🚗 How he gave away 10 Teslas with David Dobrik (and one extra by accident)

📞 Leaving in the middle of a UC Berkeley final to take a call from Olaf Carlson-Wee (Coinbase employee #1)
